MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid failed to recover from the shock of conceding two goals in the first 10 minutes on Wednesday, losing 2-1 to Valencia and wasting a chance to increase its Spanish league lead.

The end of Madrid's four-game winning streak left Zinedine Zidane's team one point ahead of Barcelona, although it still has another game in hand.

Valencia got off to a fast start at its Mestalla Stadium with goals by two players who were added to the squad in January.

Italian striker Simone Zaza opened the scoring in the fifth minute after controlling the ball with his back to the goal. He quickly turned to fire a left-footed strike into the top corner, away from goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
